a plate full of too much!

oh my goodness haverim!

i am studying for the GRE, working on some application junk, trying to convince three former professors to write letters of recommendation (i've secured two now!), clean the house a bit, figure out where i'm going to live (if i'm accepted, B"H), keep up with homework, and deal with some funky illness.

i need to work on my CV, but have been realizing that i don't really DO that much outside of school/work/housework. -_-

i was feeling overwhelmed, so i stayed up for nearly 2 hours last night "window" shopping at IKEA direct. hahaha. it was therapeutic, and it made me feel calm for quite a while.

i'll need (assuming i am accepted) a;
bed frame/mattress
chair
table and two chairs (to use as a desk and a dining room table)
a handful of dishes/cutlery
a kettle and a french press

it'll be an incredibly sparse "bachelor pad" with enough to get by. i'm looking at a studio, or 1 bedroom apartment. i'll take a couple of pans from my own kitchen, a few blankets and sheets, the big underbed storage bins that don't fit with the bed we have here in lawrence. (those i'll keep my clothes instead of having a dresser)

i'm hoping for a ground level place, that way i don't have to lug my bike up and down stairs every day, but it is a pretty light commuter bike, so i should be ok either way.

i'll be accepting IKEA giftcards for graduation presents :]
